    Hello, I am working on a school project and I am trying to get rid of the dates that my posts were posted. I tried accessing the metadata and installing a plug-in to remove the dates however both require me to pay 100-300 dollars to do. Is there any way to remove the dates for free? Thanks!!

    Hi @shreyasguptaschool, if you need content that doesn’t have any dates displayed, have you considered using pages instead of posts? Posts are articles/blog items that are very date-oriented; that’s why it’s tricky to get the dates off them.

    To remove the date from WordPress posts, you can use a plugin or edit your theme’s code. Here are the steps for both methods:

    Method 1: Using a plugin

    1. Install and activate the WP Meta and Date Remover plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.
    2. Go to Settings > WP Meta and Date Remover in your WordPress dashboard.
    3. Select the “Remove Date” option and choose the post types you want to remove the date from.
    4. Save your changes.
